FM Modulation using VCO [1] fout Vin - Free Running Frequency of VCO Corresponding DC bias - Gain of VCO
Block Diagram PA VCO Input DC Bias Vcc/2
Chipset • 4046 Phase-Locked Loop • LM7171 Wide-Band Power Amplifier • 741 Op Amp
4046 PLL Only use the VCO
4046 VCO Characteristic C1>=100pF
PCB Layout Considerations • The signal traces should be short and wide to lower the impedance. • The width of the signal traces has to satisfy current driving capacity. • Any used board area should be shorted to ground to reduce AC noise. • Sockets and pads will induce extra capacitance, so components should be directly soldered to board. • Surface mount components are preferred over discrete ones for less lead inductance.
Measured Results • Carrier Frequency: 15MHz • Bandwidth: Controllable • Output Power: 500mW

VCO Design • VCO free running frequency = Carrier Frequency • VCO Frequency Range is no smaller than Bandwidth • Large VCO gain will increase PLL natural frequency n and thus improves PLL tracking capability
